The annual Nairobi international trade fair commonly referred to as ‘the show’ has been evolving over the years. From a platform primarily utilized by players in the agricultural sector, other institutions are now taking advantage of the high attendance to market and create awareness their products and services. This has now seen the agricultural exhibition rise to a regional trade fair.

International trade

International trade is the exchange of capital, goods, and services across international borders or territories, which could involve the activities of the government and individual. In most countries, such trade represents a significant share of gross domestic product (GDP). While international trade has been present throughout much of history (see Uttarapatha, Silk Road, Amber Road, salt road), its economic, social, and political importance has been on the rise in recent centuries. It is the presupposition of international trade that a sufficient level of geopolitical peace and stability are prevailing in order to allow for the peaceful exchange of trade and commerce to take place between nations.

Trading globally gives consumers and countries the opportunity to be exposed to new markets and products. Almost every kind of product can be found on the international market: food, clothes, spare parts, oil, jewelry, wine, stocks, currencies and water. Services are also traded: tourism, banking, consulting and transportation. A product that is sold to the global market is an export, and a product that is bought from the global market is an import. Imports and exports are accounted for in a country's current account in the balance of payments.

The name "Nairobi" comes from the Maasai phrase Enkare Nairobi, which translates to "cool water". The phrase is also the Maasai name of the Nairobi river, which in turn lent its name to the city. However, it is popularly known as the "Green City in the Sun", and is surrounded by several expanding villa suburbs.

Nairobi was founded in 1899 by the colonial authorities in British East Africa, as a rail depot on the Uganda Railway. The town quickly grew to replace Machakos as the capital of Kenya in 1907. After independence in 1963, Nairobi became the capital of the Republic of Kenya. During Kenya's colonial period, the city became a centre for the colony's coffee, tea and sisal industry. The city lies on the River Athi in the southern part of the country, and has an elevation of 1,795 metres (5,889ft) above sea level.

International

International mostly means something (a company, language, or organization) involving more than a single country. The term international as a word means involvement of, interaction between or encompassing more than one nation, or generally beyond national boundaries. For example, international law, which is applied by more than one country and usually everywhere on Earth, and international language which is a language spoken by residents of more than one country.

Origin of the word

The term international was coined by the utilitarian philosopher Jeremy Bentham in his Introduction to Principles of Morals and Legislation, which was printed for publication in 1780 and published in 1789. Bentham wrote: "The word international, it must be acknowledged, is a new one; though, it is hoped, sufficiently analogous and intelligible. It is calculated to express, in a more significant way, the branch of law which goes commonly under the name of the law of nations. The word was adopted in French in 1801.Thomas Erskine Holland noted in his article on Bentham in the 11th edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica that "Many of Bentham's phrases, such as 'international,' 'utilitarian,' 'codification,' are valuable additions to our language; but the majority of them, especially those of Greek derivation, have taken no root in it."

The original form of trade, barter, saw the direct exchange of goods and services for other goods and services. Barter is trading things without the use of money. Later one side of the barter started to involve precious metals, which gained symbolic as well as practical importance. Modern traders generally negotiate through a medium of exchange, such as money. As a result, buying can be separated from selling, or earning. The invention of money (and later credit, paper money and non-physical money) greatly simplified and promoted trade. Trade between two traders is called bilateral trade, while trade between more than two traders is called multilateral trade.

Trade exists due to the specialization and division of labor, in which most people concentrate on a small aspect of production, trading for other products. Trade exists between regions because different regions may have a comparative advantage (perceived or real) in the production of some trade-able commodity, or because different regions' size may encourage mass production. As such, trade at market prices between locations can benefit both locations.

Fair

A fair (archaic: faire or fayre) is a gathering of people for a variety of entertainment or commercial activities. It is normally of the essence of a fair that it is temporary with scheduled times lasting from an afternoon to several weeks.

Types of fairs

Variations of fairs include:

street fair: a fair that celebrates the character of a neighborhood. As its name suggests, it is usually held on the main street of a neighborhood.

festival: an event ordinarily celebrated by a community and centering on some characteristic aspect of that community and its religion or traditions, often marked as a local or national holiday, mela or eid.

county fair or agricultural show: a public event exhibiting the equipment, animals, sports and recreation associated with agriculture and animal husbandry.

state fair: an annual competitive and recreational gathering of a U.S. state's population, usually held in late summer or early fall. It is a larger version of a county fair, often including only exhibits or competitors that have won in their categories at the more-local county fairs.

The NairobiInternational TradeFair kicked off Monday with hundreds of exhibitors showcasing their products.
Food security continues to be key and a main attraction at the fair with farmers being urged to embrace technology to increase production.
And as Mercy Milanoi found out, you can actually do farming from such a small space like your balcony or even kitchen table.

Why the GCC trading bloc isn't living up to its name | Counting the Cost

When the annual Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) summit in Kuwait ended abruptly this week, so too, did hopes of a breakthrough in the bloc's biggest crisis in decades.
The meeting was the first since Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the UAE and Egypt cut trade and diplomatic ties with Qatar in June, after accusing it of supporting "terrorism", allegations that Qatar denies.
The GCC summit concluded abruptly on Tuesday instead of Wednesday, with delegates leaving Kuwait after a closed session.
But even before the summit officially kicked off, divisions were very much on display.

Evaluating Nairobi: What does the outcome mean for trade in food and farm goods? Session 1

WTO members are still trying to make sense of the agreements that were reached at the WTO's Nairobi ministerial conference last December, and understand what these might mean for trade in food and farm goods.
The objective of this dialogue is to help negotiators, policy makers and other stakeholders to assess the potential trade, food security and rural development implications of the agriculture outcomes of the WTO's Nairobi ministerial conference.
The event will provide participants with an opportunity to engage in a forward-looking discussion on how to build on the Nairobi outcomes, given recent changes in global markets, policies and regulatory frameworks.

In Focus: Impacts of International Trade agreements on Africa's Development

Despite the fact that Trade Agreements create enormous opportunities for the African continent, there are still a good number of pitfalls and challenges that hinder the development and prosperity of trade within the continent.
Discussing these and more, in this episode of In Focus, we interview Professor Yashpal Tandon, former CEO of the South Center and founder of SEATINI.
Prof. Tandon has also worked at many different levels as an academic, a teacher, a political thinker, a rural development worker, a civil society activist and an institution builder. He was as well involved in the Democratic struggles in Uganda and was a member of the interim Uganda Parliament (1979-80)

Kenya Police Service Band Nairobi Show Display of 2017

Shujaa :The Homeless Of Nairobi

In this episode, the homeless street children are highlighted and how Clifford Oluoch and his organization, the Homeless of Nairobi are trying to get some of the children out of the street,rehabilitating them and getting them back into school.

When the annual Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) summit in Kuwait ended abruptly this week, so too, did hopes of a breakthrough in the bloc's biggest crisis in decades.
The meeting was the first since Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the UAE and Egypt cut trade and diplomatic ties with Qatar in June, after accusing it of supporting "terrorism", allegations that Qatar denies.
The GCC summit concluded abruptly on Tuesday instead of Wednesday, with delegates leaving Kuwait after a closed session.
But even before the summit officially kicked off, divisions were very much on display.
The UAE announced it had formed a new economic and military partnership with Saudi Arabia that would be separate from the GCC. And Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain decided not to send their respective leaders to Kuwait.
So is the GCC trading bloc still living up to its name? And how is pressing the pause button on economic cooperation affecting the oil-rich region?
According to Ayham Kamel, head of MENA at the Eurasia Group, the GCC bloc operates in name only now.
"Virtually, we have an organisation that is able to do very little. There's no consensus on the major issues - not on foreign policy, economics, so I think it will remain there in name, but the effectiveness has gone down to almost zero."
The Gulf crisis "really has created the first step towards partial disentigration of the union ... I don't think you're going to hear any headlines on cooperation or any strategy from the GCC any more," says Kamel.
On whether the GGC is committed to diversifying their economies away from oil dependency, he says, "there was serious committment towards having some sort of fiscal rebalancing process across the GCC that maintained the balance between the Gulf economies."
However, Kamel believes that "you have to expect some delays, some structural problems because these states have not really introduced any complicated form of taxation at anytime. At this stage, we get a state-centric approach and some states move forward quite quick, but others feel compelled to put them on the sidelines. I think in the Qatar case, we'll probably see some delays because of the economic and political crisis with the GCC, so it would be more prudent to delay that and its a likely direction."
Also on this episode of Counting the Cost:
The plastic economy: This week, the world's top decision-making body on the environment, the UN EnvironmentAssembly, passed a resolution on zero tolerance to plastic pollution in the ocean. But it's non-binding, so the onus falls on individual citizens across the globe to make it happen. Catherine Soi reports from the summit in Nairobi.
SMS anniversary: It has been 25 years since the world's first text message was sent. And that's something to talk about, given the way the humble SMS has evolved into an entire messaging industry, as Paul Brennan explains.
Peace diamonds: The diamond trade currently still relies on paper-based certification, but that's changing. De Beers, the world's largest supplier of diamonds, says it wants to use something called 'blockchain technology' to provide a traceable record for its gemstones. The platform will trace the diamonds' route through the value chain, from mine to consumer. Gabriel Elizondo reports from New York.

Food security continues to be key and a main attraction at the fair with farmers being urged to embrace technology to increase production.
And as Mercy Milanoi found out, you can actually do farming from such a small space like your balcony or even kitchen table.

Traders from all over the country exhibit their products at Nairobi International Trade Fair

Why the GCC trading bloc isn't living up to its name | Counting the Cost

When the annual Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) summit in Kuwait ended abruptly this week, so too, did hopes of a breakthrough in the bloc's biggest crisis in decades.
The meeting was the first since Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the UAE and Egypt cut trade and diplomatic ties with Qatar in June, after accusing it of supporting "terrorism", allegations that Qatar denies.
The GCC summit concluded abruptly on Tuesday instead of Wednesday, with delegates leaving Kuwait after a closed session.
But even before the summit officially kicked off, divisions were very much on display.
The UAE announced it had formed a new economic and military partnership with Saudi Arabia that would be separate from the GCC. And Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain decided not to send their respective leaders to Kuwait.
So is the GCC trading bloc still living up to its name? And how is pressing the pause button on economic cooperation affecting the oil-rich region?
According to Ayham Kamel, head of MENA at the Eurasia Group, the GCC bloc operates in name only now.
"Virtually, we have an organisation that is able to do very little. There's no consensus on the major issues - not on foreign policy, economics, so I think it will remain there in name, but the effectiveness has gone down to almost zero."
The Gulf crisis "really has created the first step towards partial disentigration of the union ... I don't think you're going to hear any headlines on cooperation or any strategy from the GCC any more," says Kamel.
On whether the GGC is committed to diversifying their economies away from oil dependency, he says, "there was serious committment towards having some sort of fiscal rebalancing process across the GCC that maintained the balance between the Gulf economies."
However, Kamel believes that "you have to expect some delays, some structural problems because these states have not really introduced any complicated form of taxation at anytime. At this stage, we get a state-centric approach and some states move forward quite quick, but others feel compelled to put them on the sidelines. I think in the Qatar case, we'll probably see some delays because of the economic and political crisis with the GCC, so it would be more prudent to delay that and its a likely direction."
Also on this episode of Counting the Cost:
The plastic economy: This week, the world's top decision-making body on the environment, the UN EnvironmentAssembly, passed a resolution on zero tolerance to plastic pollution in the ocean. But it's non-binding, so the onus falls on individual citizens across the globe to make it happen. Catherine Soi reports from the summit in Nairobi.
SMS anniversary: It has been 25 years since the world's first text message was sent. And that's something to talk about, given the way the humble SMS has evolved into an entire messaging industry, as Paul Brennan explains.
Peace diamonds: The diamond trade currently still relies on paper-based certification, but that's changing. De Beers, the world's largest supplier of diamonds, says it wants to use something called 'blockchain technology' to provide a traceable record for its gemstones. The platform will trace the diamonds' route through the value chain, from mine to consumer. Gabriel Elizondo reports from New York.

Evaluating Nairobi: What does the outcome mean for trade in food and farm goods? Session 1

WTO members are still trying to make sense of the agreements that were reached at the WTO's Nairobi ministerial conference last December, and understand what these might mean for trade in food and farm goods.
The objective of this dialogue is to help negotiators, policy makers and other stakeholders to assess the potential trade, food security and rural development implications of the agriculture outcomes of the WTO's Nairobi ministerial conference.
The event will provide participants with an opportunity to engage in a forward-looking discussion on how to build on the Nairobi outcomes, given recent changes in global markets, policies and regulatory frameworks.
